Mentorship programme

About

This programme is aiming on connecting mentees with mentors based on possible shared professional interests, desired skills development, and personality compatibility.

Mentorship is a great way to learn, grow, and feel supported—whether you're just starting out or have been in tech for a while. As a mentee, you can get advice, encouragement, and new ideas from someone who's been there before. And mentors often find it just as rewarding, gaining fresh perspectives and the chance to give back. It's all about sharing experiences, learning from each other, and building real connections in a welcoming community.

For whom?

  • You are a woman or from underrepresented genders.
  • You are looking for someone with specific knowledge in our tech field who can help you achieve your goals.
  • You want to continue studying and want a buddy who will hold you accountable and help with tips and tricks when needed.
  • You want to land a job in IT and want someone to help you on this journey.
  • You want to jump from junior to medior and build a skills (not only technical) needed.

With finishing a Beginners Python course your coding journey does not stop! Now you are familiar with building blocks and it is on you to decide in which directions to go. And mentors and our mentorship programme can help you. It would be great if you are able to define what you are looking for, but if you just want a learning buddy it is also fine.
